Antigonish Warden Nicholas MacInnis said work on the county`s budget is underway.
He said there are a number of projects on their capital budget, adding they also recevied some larger requests over the winter. Instead of deciding on those in-council, MacInnis said council chose to move those items to their budget deliberations where they can review them based on all of the other expenses they have to incur.
